Many veterans now have rights
under both the Servicemen’s Read
justment act of 1944 hnd the South
Carolina Unemployment Compensa
tion law. Mr. Bush pointed out
that from now on It wlU become
Increasingly important for such
veterans who become unemployed
to consider the expiration date of
their rights under both programs.
If they are to.be assured <rf maxi
mum protection under the two sys
tems. Both types of claims are filed
through the commission’s employ
ment service offices, and the per
sonnel of such offices will explain
the differences with respect to the
amount payable, duration, and ex
piration rights. The veteran may
then elect the law under which he
desires to file his claim.

Gira Tax Bin
Poun Revenue
In Highway Fund
Revenue from the 6c state gaso
line tax paid by South Carolina
motorists during the first six
months of 1947 totals (more than)
19,732,715.00, according to J. T.
Melton, executive secretary of the
South Carolina Petroleum Indus
tries committee. ’This represents a
16.6% increase over the first half
of 1946, setting a new high in the
16 year history of gaaollne tax col
lections.
During the first six months of
1941, when automobile registrations
were at their peak, gasoline tax
revenues amounted to 97,459,244.00.
Special taxes paid by motor vehicle
owners rose from a 1941 figure of
963.02 per vehicle to 973.61 in 1946.
reflecting the Increased use of, and
dependence of the public on, care
and trucks. The total 1947 gasoline
tax bill alone is expected to reach
920,000,000.00. Mr. Melton said.
"In terms of highway construc-
tlon.” he added, “this means that
motorists will pour 923,400,000.0<' In
gasoline taxes and registration fees
into the state highway fund Ihls
year (which with Unspent balances
will make the largest state con
struction fund in history).’’
“Even though we have become
sccustomed to talk of roads In
thousands of miles and road funds
In millions of dollars, there is an
element of awe In the fact that
South Carolina motorists alone pui*!
a gasoline tax bill of 99,732,715.00
during the first six’months of 1947.”

The only way you can tell whether k soil
is fertile is by the crops it grows or a soil
tesL Testing by a short chemical method
is easier and quicker. It will tell before
planting how much plant food the soil will
‘ make available and how much you shoidd
apply in fertilizer to get good yields and
hi^qulity.
Sec your agricnltural adviser about having
your soils tested. Most stttes are providmg .
tEis service. You will know then how moch
potash (one of the essential plant foods)
your fertilizer should contain.
